Porchfest Monday: Approaching 100 Porches/Artists!
Decatur Metro | August 31, 2015 | 10:36 amHere’s your weekly update on progress towards the Oakhurst Porchfest, our fully crowdsourced, grassroots music festival coming to south of the tracks on Sunday, October 18.
And quite the update it is, as porches and performer sign-ups run literally neck and neck: 96 of each, as of this writing. That’s entering epic territory.
Among them is an increasingly diverse array of styles, from one of our downtown church’s bell choirs to a master of Irish Uilleann pipes to an ensemble that describes themselves as “Earth’s first genetically-modified punk rock band.”
Plus, of course, a good dose of Americana. To that end, this week we feature Jackson County Line performing “One More Kiss”.
As with last week, there’s still time to get in on all this. If you live in Oakhurst, sign up your porch. If you’re a musician from anywhere at all, sign up to play. Then spread the word to keep our momentum going. Everything you need can be found HERE.
